NX History

NX History

NX History

(OP)
Is there any way to dig farther back into what was pulled up into my NX session other than what shows up in my history tree ?
The reason I am asking this is I am looking for a concept file that I gave a silly name to (that I can't remember) and I can't find it anyplace.
The last time I pulled it up was several months ago in NX6 (we are on NX7.5 now) and when I open NX6 nothing shows up in the history tree, but I am wondering if it could still be listed in a text file someplace.
I hate doing searches in Windows 7, and I didn't have much success with that.

RE: NX History

Not really unless there might be something in some Windows activity record somewhere.

But speaking of not liking to search in Windows 7, I use a piece of 'shareware' called 'Everything' which can be downloaded from:

http://www.voidtools.com/

It's amazingly fast and while it's not very sophisticated, it does work well at what it does. As long as you have some inkling of what a segment (it supports wildcards) of the file name might be, it seems to always work for me, and as I said, IT'S FAST.
